Our food choices, from potatoes to meat, are entangled with health, karma, and the difficulty of living purely in this age. Potatoes are often unhealthy due to pesticides and chemicals absorbed into the earth, which can take over a decade to purify. Many oils, like refined or cottonseed oil, are harmful and contribute to disease. Modern wheat has excessive gluten. The widespread consumption of meat creates collective sin and karma, stemming from the breeding, selling, and torturing of animals. In this Kali Yuga, we are often forced or tricked into consuming animal products unknowingly, through items like bread or oil. Our weakness and greed, along with market forces making meat cheap, drive this. The solution is to seek organic, local produce like good olive oil, and to diversify our diet with grains, beans, and preserved vegetables instead of relying on potatoes and junk food. We must relearn ancestral preservation methods. Ultimately, some advanced beings show it is possible to live beyond physical food, drawing energy directly from the sun or divine sources. "Sin is that which creatures, beautiful creatures, are there... torturing them, what they call halal, is a pain; the pain is the sin." "When we innocently eat something, and then God will say, 'You also ate,' and I will say, 'No.'" Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Spirituality in the heart
4:20 - 4:35 (15 min)
Recorded on
Our heart is a well of giving that must flow to remain pure. We are born from and abide within a vast spiritual ocean. Knowing "I am" and feeling God within, we are here not to sit idly but to help others. Helping flows from the heart, generating more power, peace, and love. Giving enlarges the heart; withholding causes stagnation. Just as a well gives fresh water the more it is drawn, the heart yields more peace and harmony through giving. We must not refuse to give, for in truth, you are everything. Our inner energy must be kept alive by giving what we like. Even when the body perishes, the heart becomes a vast space. We practice to attain this greatness, giving to all beings. This heart-based spirituality surpasses all books. We are ultimately one. "When we help one another, it comes from our heart: more power, more peace, more love, more of everything." "As much as is drawn, so much flows... when we draw water, then clean, fresh, very nice water flows out again and again." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Bring people to oneness
6:55 - 7:56 (61 min)
Recorded on
We are all one, and yoga is the practice of uniting. Our world needs oneness, and we pray for each other across all cultures and religions. Different traditions have different calendars and celebrations, but all seek happiness and we should respect them. This time of year is for reflection and connection after eleven months that may have brought disease, disaster, or conflict. We pray for a peaceful coming year. The essence of yoga is that we are all one—not high or low. Our practice is a spiritual science for health, which is our true wealth. A core teaching is that everything is interconnected: "One in all and all in one." This applies to all living beings and the five layers of our being. Yoga as union has existed since the beginning. Festivals arise in various cultures to foster spirituality and community during times when people might otherwise idle and conflict. Our traditions, like decorations and gift-giving, are active expressions of this unifying spirit. The aim of Yoga in Daily Life is to bring people into this experience of oneness through practice and understanding. "One in all and all in one. That's all." "In this month we should connect and we can pray... We pray that the coming year will be peaceful and harmonious." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Vishwagurujis speech at peace conference in Prague
8:00 - 8:39 (39 min)
Recorded on
The roots of Yoga in Daily Life are traced to the saint Ālakapurījī from the Satya Yuga. Evidence was found after long research, including the discovery of his Himalayan cave between Kedarnath and Badrinath. The river Alaknandā is named after him. When it meets the Bhagīrathī at Devaprayāg, they form the complete Gaṅgā. Compassion is the first step. When it awakens, your heart becomes like a mother's, feeling the suffering of all creatures. Every yogī is an incarnation. Through practice, awareness arises that every entity is my Ātmā. The individual soul suffers and changes, but the Ātmā is one, universal, and observing. God gave fear for survival. Non-violence means causing no trouble—physical, mental, or emotional—to others or to yourself through anger or hate. Violence returns as karma. Yoga brings peace by reducing greed, jealousy, and ego. It is for body, energy, mind, and liberation. The system has spread, promoting health and harmony, as seen in the peaceful separation of Czech and Slovak peoples. Knowledge, like a river, flows for all. "Viśva prāṇī merī ātmā hai—every entity is my Ātmā." "Ātmā soi Paramātmā; Ātmā is the Supreme, the Highest, God." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic
The origin of Jyotir Linga
8:45 - 9:38 (53 min)
Recorded on
Our inner voice and the quality of our thoughts shape our reality. We have tens of thousands of thoughts daily, each an internal conversation. In crucial moments, this voice arises with doubt. The key is not what it says, but how it speaks—whether softly or harshly. This tone affects our mood and state more than the content. We can practice changing this inner dialogue to be loving, as in maitrī meditation. Speaking kindly to ourselves allows us to speak kindly to others. Laughter declines from childhood to adulthood, indicating a loss of inner joy. Cultivating a gentle inner voice can reverse this trend. When facing decisions, practice prāṇāyāma to calm the nervous system and cultivate a "big trust" that life happens for you, regardless of the outcome. Mantra repetition is about the bhāva, the inner feeling, not the volume. "It doesn’t even matter what it’s saying. It’s just about, is it talking soft or is it talking hard?" "Life happens not to you, life happens for you." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The Presence of the Guru
9:45 - 10:28 (43 min)
Recorded on
The Guru is omnipresent, and our practice is to recognize and honor this presence. He is always observing and is within us. His physical presence is a blessing, but his true nature is everywhere. We must cultivate love and devotion, which together allow our spiritual connection to grow. Serving him and being in his company is the primary practice, as it reduces the ego. We must learn to surrender completely, trusting him without relying on our own logic. He tests our faith, and those who trust him completely will find all obstacles removed. Approach him not with trivial questions but to seek blessings for your sincere endeavors. His guidance may come in many forms, all of which are for our benefit. Ultimately, we must believe he is the sole doer, and we are instruments in his divine play. "When you close your eyes, or when you even open your eyes, you can see his form sitting here. We should not think that Gurudev is physically not here, but Gurudev is omnipresent." "If we have that mindset within us, then nothing is going to stop us in this world, and we just need to continue this beautiful, beautiful legacy what Gurudev has created and just know that he is inside, and he is always with us."

Why we do Anusthan
11:35 - 12:35 (60 min)
Recorded on
Anuṣṭhāna is a dedicated spiritual practice undertaken for a specific purpose. You make a saṅkalpa, a promise to yourself, to perform sādhanā for spiritual growth, health, success, or family harmony. It is often done for one's spouse, praying for their well-being, fostering oneness in the household. This practice extends to praying for good crops and rain, offering the first harvest to God as a blessing. True harmony is seen in traditional multi-generational families where all live as one community, in contrast to modern fragmentation. Anuṣṭhāna also means praying for all creatures and the natural world, recognizing our responsibility to animals and plants. The practice includes physical austerity, but accommodations are made for health reasons, as the intention comes from the heart. Ultimately, anuṣṭhāna is a prayer for universal peace and happiness, embracing the mantra "sarve bhavantu sukhinaḥ"—may all be happy. "Anuṣṭhāna is when you make a saṅkalpa. Saṅkalpa means you promise yourself to undertake a practice for a certain purpose." "We pray that all creatures should live in peace, harmony, and health. God protect all. This is our Anuṣṭhāna."

The Pearl of Everlasting Bliss
12:40 - 13:01 (21 min)
Recorded on
Life's deepest treasure is complete and everlasting bliss, the crown of self-realization rooted in God-realization. Rare beings attain this pearl of Paramānanda. A seeker's deep prayer brought him face-to-face with his divine master, seeing the form of Śrī Kṛṣṇa. He became a true disciple, devoting body, mind, and soul. He received the highest spiritual initiation, instantly attaining samādhi. His life was a permanent establishment in the highest spiritual experience under his master's guidance. As a spiritual successor, he built and established āśrams, tirelessly spreading the light. He preached non-dualism, non-violence as the highest religion, and the unity of all humanity through song and service. His devotion was Parabhakti, love without reservation, repeating the divine name for over eighteen hours daily. Such love overcomes all obstacles between us and God. He became a living testament that this realization is possible. "My eyes filled with tears, and I fell to my knees. I knew I had found the everlasting light of my life." "All humans belong to one religion, and that is humanity." Filming location: Bola Guda, India

The Four Aspects of Grace and the Path to Self-Love
13:50 - 14:23 (33 min)
Recorded on
The four aspects of grace culminate in self-love, which is essential for spiritual growth. Grace has four aspects: divine grace for human incarnation, scriptural grace from sacred texts, guru's grace from the teacher, and self-grace, which is giving mercy to oneself. Guru's grace is a response to the disciple's devotion and service. Applying this to oneself means loving yourself and giving that grace to yourself. Self-love is not ego, which takes, but a high vibration that gives. A key teaching is to love others at least as much as you love yourself, yet many struggle with self-love. A practical example is sending loving energy to your own body, which can have healing effects. The path to self-love involves three steps: first, accept yourself as you are. Second, seek to understand how you became who you are through self-inquiry. Third, from understanding comes the desire to give, including forgiving yourself. This process of accept, understand, and give is the essence of the teaching. "Love each and every living being, if not more, then at least as much as yourself." "We cannot really love others if we don't love ourselves." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Jadan Ashram sets an example
14:30 - 15:17 (47 min)
Recorded on
We are transforming desert into oasis, a spiritual and environmental journey. God prepared a beautiful home, but human attachment led to greed, fear, and anger, transforming that paradise. We now live in Kali Yuga, where forests, rivers, and air are degraded. Deserts appear as jungles are burned for agriculture. Modern development brought tubewells, pumping the earth's blood and lowering the water table. We must change direction. Our master chose this barren land to build an ashram, a school. We cleared poisonous bush and planted over 100,000 native trees. We divided the land into fields with small dams to hold moisture and protect soil. We built a system to catch rainwater, channeling it through fields into a sealed lake for our use, with surplus filling another lake to recharge groundwater. The water table rose from 100 meters deep to one meter below the surface. The ashram is becoming a jungle, attracting 60 bird species and many animals. This shows we can restore harmony with nature. We are nature. Our inner transformation mirrors the land's: we root out anger and greed, planting seeds of love. The ashram builds us as we build it. "We are pumping the blood of Mother Earth." "We are building an ashram, and the ashram is building us." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Devotion to Nature
15:00 - 15:30 (30 min)
Recorded on
Evening satsang from Jadan Ashram, Rajasthan, India.Emphasizing the vital link between spiritual health and the physical world, The lecturer delivers a powerful message regarding the sanctity of our natural surroundings. He creatively defines the environment as our "in-wire" system, describing how nature physically recharges the human body through breath and food. Drawing upon the legacy of Vishwaguruji and the scriptures of the Bhagavad Gita, he reminds us that Lord Krishna exists within the trees, elevating them to the status of the divine. Swami Phulpuriji warns against the destruction caused by human greed, specifically deforestation and the use of harmful pesticides. He advocates for a return to respecting trees as "Neem Narayan," asserting that true mental peace and human survival are inextricably bound to the preservation of Mother Earth.

God is the giver
16:15 - 16:53 (38 min)
Recorded on
The essence of practice is to remember God and act with grace toward all creatures. Your spiritual practice is good. If you claim to have no time for practice, you might as well claim to have no time to eat. Food is vital for all beings, from elephants to ants, yet it is God who provides it. Do not be proud, for the giver is God. Different lands have different names for God, and that is good. Many no longer pray before meals, thinking humanity can do everything, but God is present everywhere, balancing all things. We are in the age of Kali Yuga; be careful. Our visible practice is one thing, but we must aim for the unity of Brahmaloka. Life is like drawing water from a deep well; the rope may break just as you near the top. All our efforts can be lost in an instant. We are like caged parrots, fed but unable to fly freely. Therefore, practice your mantra, think good thoughts for all beings, and live with happiness and kindness. The goal is to become one in peace and harmony. "It is said: if you have no time for practicing yoga or anything, then it means you also have no time for eating." "So, my dears, we want, and we should pray more and more. Here is not enough, and that is not enough." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
A Message of Peace from Prague
17:00 - 17:07 (7 min)
Recorded on
The key to our future is universal unity and peace. I witnessed this spirit in a crowded square where people of all languages smiled together, a vision for our world. Achieving this requires not just public desire but political will. Prague has a historical legacy of promoting peace, from medieval delegations to modern nuclear agreements. Our world faces civil wars, climate change, and threats from weapons and terrorism. I work with parliamentary networks seeking pledges from nations to not be first to use and to reduce nuclear arsenals, aiming to lower global risk. Support these efforts. True peace begins within each person. "There is only one God, the universal God, only one religion, humanity, and only one nation, humankind." "Peace among nations is dependent on peace in human beings." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic
The Means Are the End: On Non-Violence, Patience, and Peace
17:15 - 17:29 (14 min)
Recorded on
The means are the end; the purity of the instrument determines the outcome. Life initially teaches non-violence through powerlessness, when a violent response is impossible. Yet true understanding comes with maturity. Society focuses on ends, neglecting means. This creates fundamental questions: can war bring peace or violence bring justice? The answer is no. Wrong means always yield wrong ends, for the means become the end. A seed becomes the tree. Hatred breeds hatred; violence breeds violence. Only non-violence, born from compassion, breeds compassion. Some claim wrong means bring wealth and power, while right means bring struggle. But happiness is a peaceful mind. Those using right means possess this peace and live in the present. Those using wrong means have disturbed minds, living in past or future. To follow non-violence requires immense patience and faith. It is a slow, complete cure like Ayurveda, healing from within like yoga. "There are countless reasons for which I can give my life, but for no reason can I kill a person." "Happiness is a peaceful state of mind." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic

The Glory of Gurudeva's Name
18:50 - 19:09 (19 min)
Recorded on
The true means to supreme bliss is satsang, yet worldly pursuits are filled with sorrow. Only the divine incarnation of the Supreme Guru bestows true happiness and Self-knowledge. Without the Guru, there is no knowledge, and without knowledge, sorrow has no end. No being has ever attained the Soul-Supreme without a Guru. Great ascetics with supernatural powers, like Sanghdev who lived 1,400 years, still lacked soul-knowledge until liberated by enlightened saints. Similarly, the egoistic tantric Bhaskarananda was transformed upon hearing the Guru's words, realizing his inner faults. The Guru's name, chanted with faith, crosses the ocean of worldly existence. A human life without devotion is like an animal's; one must perform spiritual practice and service. The root of meditation is the Guru's form; the root of worship is the Guru's feet. "Śiva, Viṣṇu, Brahmā... guru vinā bhav nidhi tīre na koi." (Even Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma cannot cross the ocean of existence without the Guru.) "Kabuk deva bhayog karni kar... toy nidayo satguru apke mo jagayo." (Sometimes one becomes a god, sometimes an insect... only the True Guru awakens you.)
